The big story is the cooler weather Friday into Sunday as one of the stronger cold fronts in over a month comes through the area on Thursday. Highs will mostly be in the 70s, even inland during this time frame. Low could dip into the 40s over northern areas Friday and Saturday morning.
Meanwhile a cold front just west of Lake Michigan early this morning will track across Lower Michigan today. That will clear out the clouds as it moves through but it will also enhance the chance for showers and thunderstorms across the area. The chance for seeing rain is greatest early to mid afternoon over eastern sections.
The cold front coming through the area Thursday may have some showers and thunderstorms with it but precipitation amounts will be limited by the dry air that will be in place as it comes through the area.
